Conor McGregor was involved in TWO bust-ups after he made his official arrival in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The Irishman was preparing to make his entrance as his opponent Floyd Mayweather left the stage.

And the two teams came together outside the T-Mobile Arena that will host the fight on Saturday night.

McGregor said: "We were supposed to have a face-off, then there was no face-off and I said. 'Are you afraid of a face-off?'.

"We came forward and there was some pushing, handbags we called it.

"He can't walk around the place without being surrounded by those donkeys."

McGregor then ran into his former sparring partner Paulie Malignaggi.

The pair rowed earlier this month when a picture was posted on Twitter of Malignaggi lying on the canvas during a spar.

The former two-time world champion insisted it was a push, and subsequent footage proved inconclusive.

And McGregor said: "I saw him lurking around and he was talking to my manager and I went over to him and put my hands on him and said, 'What's up with you?'. He said he was fed up with the picture, I told him to get over it.

"I don't mind Paulie, I still don't mind him even after all the stuff. The problem was the knockdown but I sent it out, there you go, there's the f***** knockdown!"

Malignaggi, who retired from boxing earlier this year after being stopped by Sam Eggington, said: "Bring your balls, Conor."
